Degas, Caricature and Modernity: Daumier, Gavarni, Keene
Tue 12 September 2017 - Thu 4 January 2018
Fitzwilliam Museum
Edgas Degas (1834-1917) possessed what his friend Walter Sickert (1860-1942) described as ‘a
rollicking and somewhat bear-like sense of fun’. This exhibition looks at three caricaturists and
satirists whose work Degas admired and collected in large numbers: Honoré Daumier (1808-
79), Paul Gavarni (1804-66) and Charles Keene (1823-91). Their everyday subjects captured a
vivid impression of the 19th century, referred to by Charles Baudelaire as ‘the epic and heroic
quality of modern life’, which tallied with Degas and his contemporaries in their interest in
modernity.
